Alleged pleuro- Pneumonia--1ndiscr

Alleged Pleuro-P Pneumonia Indiscrim-
mate Slaughter of Cattle.-About two months
ago the State cattle inspectors visited Mr.. Frank
Sandersons farm, in the Sd district, and asserting
that his cattle we're infected with ro-pneumo-
mia, they slaughtered twenty three of his cows,
for which they allowed him $50 per head. These
cattle had all been inoculated and Mr.. Sanderson
thought they were in perfectly healthy condi-
tion, but the States officers declared that they
were not, hence the slaughter. His loss on his
stock will be about 81 500, which is very serious
matter to farmer.
It is understood that there now no less than
$500 COWS in the vicinity of Baltimore that are
under quarantine for pleuro- pneumonia.

Fullerton, 18th Dstrict.-Our ground still
remains cold and backward and whatever planted
truck has peeped out, receiving its first welcome
kiss by the sun, has unpleasant surroundings.
In many respects the season is similar to last
spring.
A few afternoons ago there was gathering of
the young ladies of the neighborhood at Mr.. G.
Churchman'S to engage in rag carpet sewing,
and after tea the beaus gathered filling the house
and a merry time was had. About 10 O'Clock re-
freshments were served in Mrs. C.'s usual elegant
style and afterwards until long into the night, all
went merry. The we'll known hospitality of the
hostess always draws crowd.
The mud has dried up and some of our super
visors are busy throwing out dirt, dirt. Why !?
In every neighborhood there are men with enough
sense to make good roads, but they don't seem to
be good politicians. In some places they run the
brakes at right angles with the drive, to the de-
struction of springs
The Sunday school at Hiss's is fourishing and
has secured a new library, which was much neel-
ed and appreciated.
What has become of your Gardenville and
Fullerton correspondents? We miss them. Neigh
borhood gossips always a centre of interest there
and eagerly sought.
The epizoetc is spreading to the county.
1 am sorry to record that Mrs. j. W. Jacobs is
still poorly from malaria. She has been sick four
weeks, but is now able to be about and her many
friends will be glad to hear of her improvement.

Shocking Brutality--Inhuman Treat
ment Of Horse.-A young colored man named
Jim Graham, employed Qp the farm of Mrs. Hax
at Hardwood, 18th district, was arrested on Fri
day of last week, by Constable Grace, upon the
charge of inhumanly treating horse belonging
to Mrs. Hax. On Thursday morning Graham
went to the stable for the team to do plowing
when one of the horses became very fractions and
would not allow the harness to be put on him.
Graham then took rope which he tied to the an
imaPs tongue and made the other end fast to the
stall. This of course made the horse rear and
plunge worse than ever and resulted in pulling
out the tongue by the roots. Graham took the
horse to the field in this condition aud had him at
work, when the overseer noticed blood running
from his mouth. He made examination and
found that the tongue was gone. The horse, which
was valued at 5000, was killed. The brute who
who inflicted this terrible punishment had hear
ing before Justice Hevern, at Highlandtown, on
Saturday. He admitted that he had tied the ami
mails tongue to the stall, and as he was unable to
give bail in the sum of s., 900, he was committed
to the county Jail. 1t is hoped that this brute
may get good long term in the penitentiary and
thereby learn lesson which will serve him for
the balance of his life.
